Recollection of past affections

Fading gradually into obscurity and confusion

Leaving only awareness of a dismal present

And a hopeless future

It's dark all the time now

And the emptiness within me has become unbearable

I can't stand this pain any longer

Nor the crushing headaches and nausea

I have no sentiment for a worthless world

And a meaningless life

No trust in faith or salvation

Only a deep bitterness and frustration

Above all storms and torments

Darkness sets beautifully

Across an endless sky

As the last of light fades away
